Derek Zona at SB Nation ranks all 30 NHL broadcast teams and says this about Sam Rosen and Joe Micheletti who he gives three out of five stars…

Sam Rosen, Joe Micheletti – New York Rangers: Micheletti does a fine job of bringing the concepts of hockey to the fan and reinforcing those concepts with examples throughout the game. He generally nails what happened during the play without the benefit of a replay and is quite good at explaining what defensemen are doing and should be doing.

Sam Rosen fumbles too many player identifications and too much on-ice action for a man of his reputation.

…i’m one of the few Rangers fans who likes Micheletti so I completely agree with Zona’s assessment on him. Where I’m going to have to respectfully disagree is his criticism of Rosen. Has he lost a little? Sure. But let me ask you Rangers fans is there anyone else you’d rather be doing play-by-play for the Blueshirts? Giannone? Trautwig?

…not sure they’re a five star tandem, but I hate seeing that Rosen is the reason for them not being a four star one.
